IWR Videos For 08/20/2007
Wall of
Voodoo - Mexican Radio [Lyrics]
[Bio]
I dedicate this classic song by Wall of Voodoo to Lou Dobbs, Pat Buchanan
and the Republican Party. Stan Ridgway has such a weird great voice.
Also, check out amazing
Cannon Song by Ridgway.

Siouxsie and the Banshees - Hong Kong Garden [Lyrics]
[Bio]
I haven't listened to Siouxsie Sioux in quite a while. Also,
Cities
in Dust is one of my favorite songs by the group. It reminds me a
lot of the current conditions in Iraq.

The Cure
- In Between Days [Lyrics]
[Bio]
This one is dedicated to all you fascinating
Elegant Gothic Lolitas out there (More
Lolita Pictures). BTW, I think The Cure was one of the best bands of the
80s. Their music still sounds great today too!

Psychedelic Furs - The Ghost In You [Lyrics]
[Bio]
These guys really had a unique style, and this was one of the best songs,
which was also in the movie
Lost In Translation. I like
Love My Way a lot.

Even Dick Don't Know Dick
This is the Daily Show's coverage of Dick Cheney's 1994 interview in which
he said overthrowing the Iraqi government would have put us into a quagmire.
Here's Cheney's 1994
C-SPAN interview. BTW, if you haven't see
Jon Stewart Slam McCain’s Racist, Hypocritical, Disgraceful FL Campaign
Chair, check it out it's a hoot!

videos
here.

IWR Videos For 08/06/2007
King Sunny Ade - Synchro System [Bio]
King Sunny Ade and His African Beats is one of my favorite bands of all
time. I really love that Juju music sound! It just makes you
want to get up and dance. I've got to see him live some day.
There is also complete
live eight part Holland concert video on YouTube to give you an idea of
what his more recent concerts are like. I first heard King Sunny during the
great Napster Cambrian Explosion, and now thanks to YouTube we're
having another little Tsunami of music videos.

Mute
Math - Typical [Bio]
I noticed in the paper that these guys were playing over the weekend in San
Francisco. So I looked 'em on YouTube, and I found this song and
clever video that I liked by them. Does that make me typical
now? ;-)

Franco Luambo Makiadi -Tpok Jazz - Massu [Bio]
Another great artist to come out of Africa was the Congolese musician and
singer Franco Luambo and his TPOK Jazz band. They played a very fast
beat Rumba that later inspired the
Soukous (modern African
Rumba) movement. This song Massu sung by the lovely Jolie Detta is one
my favorites by the group.

Shangri Las -
Give Him a Great Big Kiss [Bio]
This all girl band from the Mid-1960s were an influence the punk and new
wave bands of the 1970's, e.g., Blondie, New York Dolls, B-52s, etc.
This was their best video I could find on YouTube.
